but escaped with his prize. The affair

An Old LANDMARK TO 60.
The shoemaker who Dudley Gregory Be-
friended TO Make the Improvement.


The ShOemaker who Dudley Gregory Be-
friended to Make the Improvement.
Every resident of the city familiar with
the lower section, knows of the existence
of what has become rickety rev of build
ings on Montgomery street, extending for
about $50 feet west from the corner of
Washington street. 1t will also doubtless
make every citizen heart-glad to know that
the old finder boxes are soon to be replaced
by q row of substantial brick buildings that
will be an ornament to the city. There is
story connected with this prop
erty which is not generally known. In
the years long since passed the property
belonged to Dudley Gregory, who gave lot
to shoemaker, an old friend of his, the
consideration being that the shoemaker
should furnish the Gregory family with
shoes for year. The shoemaker con-
tinued in business and hourished, and in a
few years he found himself the possessor
of several lots, upon which he built the
present frame structures. He finally died
and the property went to his heirs. There
has been desire among the latter for a
long time to make the anticipated improve
ment, but one of the heirs a'ways stood
out against any changes being made.
Finallyb proceedings in chancery we're in
stltuted. and it is with the belief that the
decision, which must very soon be handed
down, will be in favor of them, that the en-
terprIsing heirs are making preparations to
make the improvement.

retiring frem the house and returning about
two hours later in about the same condi-

the story of the neighbors is true, there
has been row ever since. Last night re-

up fer aha Night.
About half past eight last evening a
Grown bearded man about forty-ive years
of age attempted to walk off the bridge at
the Pennsylvania Ferry. He was just
stopping over and into the river when he
was grabbed by two dock hands and
marched back to the ferry-houss where
they questioned him as to the cause of his
apparent desire to shuttle off this mortal
evil. He simply answered that he wanted
drink and didn't know any other way to
get it. After few minutes the dock
hands left him sitting quietly on bench
and returned to the slip to fasten an in
coming boat. They had hardly left the
room when the brown bearded man slip
ped slyly after them and again attempted
to jump overheard. He was captured a
second time and taken to the First Pre-
scinct Station House where he said his
Rame was Alex Smith and he lived on
Long Island. He had bottle of whiskey

bottles IN his stomach. He was locked up.

THE NEW GYMNASIUM.

We learn that at iecent meeting of the
Executive Committee of Buchtel College,
held since Commencement, George W.
agreed to make a canvass to provide funds
to build the new gymnasium. If these two
gentlemen can't accomplish that job, it will
be hard to find the men in Summit county
who can do it. We again record the opinion
that the new gymnasium is sure to come and
speedily. This committee makes it "a fixe ]
fact."- Uniuersalist, july 10, 1887.
Without direct or indirect knowledge
of the intentions Of the gentlemen
named above, THE UNIvERsALIsT
ventured the above prophecy. The re-
suit, which we announce this week, is
evident that we wrote more wisely
than we knew. Ground was broken
in Akron, Monday, August Is, for the
erection of the splendid building, a fine
cut of which we print above. 1t is
under contract for early completion, at
an estimated cost of 5000.
Buchtel College and the city of Ak
ron are indebted for this new building
to the generosity and public spirit of
the two prominent citizens named
above, Hon. George W. Grouse, and
Ferdinand Schumacher. For several
months the gymnasium project has been
under careful consideration. President
Gone was urgent on the subject, and
the trustees recommended the erection
of such a building in their last report.
AT the college banquet, Commence
ment week, Mr.. Schumacher also spoke
earnestly in force of the enterprise, and
pledged ST. 900. A few smaller sums
had been received previously. 1t now
comes out that the enterprise early en-
listed the valuable cooperation of Mr..
Grouse, and he has now made contri-
button from his ample means to secure
its immediate erection. The amount of
Mr.. Crouse's benefaction is not stated;
but it is large enough to make the
building possible, and it will be called
the GROUSE GYMNASIUM. Mr.. Schu-
maker has been very enthusiastic in
this enterprise from the beginning of
the agitation, and to his efforts is
largely due it's present success. Mr..
Grouse, its leading benefactor, is con-
gressman elect from the Twentieth
Ohio District and is president of the
Buckeye Mower and Reaper Works,
in which business Mr.. Buchtel was
also interested for many years. His
gymnasium gift is an honor to himself
as well as to the college and the city,
and is a splendid testimonial to his
interest in physical education and the
general welfare of the institution

The Roman Catholic hierarchy has
history; and it is consistently uniform
on one point. 1t has always had a hand
in the politics of every country where it
had any power. There is, however, no
consistency in its politics. In one coun-
try it is aggressive, in another reaction
ary; in one it is conservative in another
it is radical; in one it is the patron of
legitimacy, in another of the fimsiest and
most impudent pretender. It's one rule
of political action is 10 favor what prom
ises most for the papacy, and to oppose
what threatens it. In doing this it is
sometimes on one side and sometimes on
the other; and in different countries is
on all sides simultaneously. The Jour-
malls that are to day felicitating them
selves on the alliance OF ST. Peter, will
be lucky il they do not live to repent the
infatuation. INA.

and hearts, the higher they reach, proph-
esy to us; the thing that the revelation
by science of the ultimate law of the
universe makes almost necessity. If
we continue to live, we do not remain
fixed in one condition. We either ad
vance or retrograde. To retrograde,
except for further advance, is to get
deeper and deeper in evil, and that is
impossible if God be omnipotent good
ness. Therefore, it remains, that we
should advance, and the advance OF
every individual is the advance of the
whole. That, then, to which we look is
the infinite evolution toward an infinite
end of good of the whole race of man.
And this, it seems, was at times St.
Paul's idea, not consciously held, for it
was scarcely possible to formulate it
then, but felt by him in hours of high
inspiration from the living God; put
aside, no doubt, when he began to an
alyze, when he was led astray by the
understanding but always returning
in the hours when he trusted God and
humanity, when he was most like his
Master, Jesus, most Christian, and least
Pauline, expressed in many noble say
ings which fill us with delight, and in
none more forcibly than in the great
epistle of the Universal Church, when
borne away in the ardor of his concep-
ton, he cried "1ill we all come, in
the unity of the faith and of the knowl-
edge of the Son Of God, unto the per-
feet man, unto the measure of the stat
ure of the fullness of Christ"
